Текст mewithoutYou – Wendy & Betsy
Текст:
WENDY
Signs of contemptible times!
BETSY
You still dance with an arm to your side?
WENDY
Our hands to be empty & still
Asleep on the windowsill if it be your will…
Our hands to be empty & still
Asleep on the windowsill if it be your will…
BETSY
Is last winter’s prize winning
Norwegian Forest outside!?
Could I try on your lilac dress?
Wendy? {light of my life!}
(And you know the rest)
So I take from your stare
You’ve got a lesson in there?
WENDY
Well they say the Institute made
A perfected replica blade for the Ancient of Days
BETSY
While you dial the priest I’ll tell Princess to try the police…
WENDY
We could start the 3rd World War!
BETSY
But then what good would scripture be for?
An absence of calm in the air as the temperature fell on the new concierge at the Carriage Hotel
WENDY
Word has it the younger McKim girl’s not well…
BETSY
…you remember that story with the mermaid and the actor?
WENDY
Betsy, the bones of the prophets we saw!
The mob throwing stones at the Bethlehem wall!
BETSY (in grandiose tones, raising right paw in Jacques Louis David Tennis Court Oath gesture):
All joking aside, five fingers wide
Should the bed of the bride be despair
Tell your parents it’s true
Though I’d never physically hurt you
I do know some Arabic prayers
But I left what was left of my self-respect
Like a Swiss army knife on the ground
And a pocket of coins at the IDF checkpoint
By what some call ‘the Temple Mount.’
The mob throwing stones at the Bethlehem wall!
BETSY (in grandiose tones, raising right paw in Jacques Louis David Tennis Court Oath gesture):

But I left what was left of my self-respect
Like a Swiss army knife on the ground
And a pocket of coins at the IDF checkpoint
By what some call ‘the Temple Mount.’
